ESP8266 MySensors Gateway Crashes when Node Connects

[Luppie]

When I use a telnet session from Putty, the crash does occur.

When i connect from linux with nc, the crash doesn't occur.

What could be the problem ? I exactly followed the build instructions. I even bought the hardware from the ebay-links provided.

Looks like you're sending some trash characters when connecting with telnet (just after "Client 0"-print).

I have no idea what that crap is.

But as it works with nc you must be doing something strange...

telnet is more than just a TCP connection. Not much more, but it will always send some extra characters. Netcat is a pure TCP connection.

Thanks hek & mfalkvidd.
Reading your replies made me think that maybe the problem isn't the gateway, but the sensor sending some crap.
I will build a new sensor toninght and test it.

Hmmm, I've build the most basic actuator "BinarySwitchSensor" and again when it connects, the gateway crashes. I'm totaly lost here.

So it crashes both when controller connects to gateway or when it receives a radio message?

[Luppie]

When no controller is connected and a message is received it doesn't crash.

It only crashes when a controller is connected and the gateway receives a radio message.
(I used the tempsensor sketch and the binaryswitch sketch to test)
(But the testmessage : 42;1;1;47;0;Hello didn't crash the gateway)

Right now I just uploaded the SerialGateway sketch to 1 of my sensors and that is working correctly with my Domoticz Controller. But I still prefer a wifi gateway.

@Luppie Hi. Have you ever been able to solve this issue? I have the same here.

[Luppie]

Nope, I never resolved it. So I've build a USB gateway, thats is working great for 4 months now.

@Luppie Ok, thanks. I also have the USB and LAN gateway running. But it would be very helpful having the WIFI version on other locations in the house. Thanks anyway.

I also experience a crash... I've tried using master and dev, I see the crash when Domoticz tries to connect to the gateway (Using the MySensors LAN option)... When running without Domoticz, it seems to run fine without issue (watching debug all appears a-okay).

Spent almost the last day trying to work it out, no luck so far!

Could this be related to your problems?

@hek I'm not sure as I'm using a nodemcu

@hek Grrrrr, figured it out after a whole day wasted! My board manager had updated the ESP8266 version to 2.1, rolled back to 2.0
